Atomvec wants to put an autopilot on an STM
Atomvec is developing an AI autopilot for scanning tunnelling microscopes, starting with probe tip conditioning and atom placement.
- For
- STM research labs and quantum hardware teams
- Worth noticing
- The site labels its illustrations conceptual and its cited academic results independent of Atomvec’s own performance.
Field notes
The proposed workflow breaks STM automation into observing surface and tip condition, predicting a move, and measuring the result to correct the next action. Atomvec identifies tip conditioning and atom placement as its first-product scope, while quantum devices and repeatable atomic manufacturing are longer-term directions. Its research section links to papers in Communications Physics and Nature Communications, but explicitly says those independent results are not Atomvec performance.
